Images & the feed: where chats become content.

Character.AI grew a visual layer: characters can generate images in conversation, Scenes stage cinematic moments, Streams pit two characters together, and everything shareable lands in a scrolling community feed. Here’s the tour, and how creators get discovered.

01Images inside conversations

Characters can produce images mid-chat — the portrait of the villain you just described, the room you walked into. Ask in plain language or in parentheses. Style consistency comes from the same trick as text: describe the visual style once, early, and reference it ("in the same style as before").

02Scenes and Streams

Scenes are staged cinematic moments — your character dropped into a prebuilt dramatic setup, on mobile. Streams generate an interaction between any two characters on a topic you pick: press play and watch. Both take one minute to try and are the fastest way to see a character’s personality stress-tested outside your own chats.

03The community feed, for creators

The feed is the discovery engine — trending characters, popular Scenes and Streams, creator content. For character creators this is the growth loop: a shareable Stream featuring your character is an ad for it. Post creations with strong hooks (the contradiction from the advanced lesson IS the hook) and watch which framings pull chats.
